With many years of experience in heavy duty cylinders, we have designed the ultimate cylinder - the ELITE series.
A key component in the development of the range included exhaustive FEA and physical testing against the industry standard benchmark safety factor of 3:1. Motus ELITE series tests to a massive 25,000 psi for a 5000 psi rated cylinder.
Our exclusive bolted head and unique seal combination gives the ELITE superior strength to handle the high pressure and tough working environments it will be subjected to.
